Geographic tongue or benign migratory glossitis is a benign disorder of the oral mucosa that is relatively common in dental practice. This condition is characterized by erythematous areas caused by the loss of filiform papillae surrounded by irregular white borders. To understand the clinical characteristics of geographic tongue and the contributing factors involved in the development of the lesion in order to establish an appropriate diagnosis and provide adequate patient education. A 25-year-old female patient presented with complaints of patches on the tongue for approximately two months. The patient had been following an OMAD (One Meal A Day) diet for one year and reported an allergy to white rice. The patient also had a history of psoriasis. Nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin B complex, vitamin B12, folic acid, iron, and zinc may affect the integrity of the oral mucosa and disrupt the regeneration of the lingual epithelium. These conditions may lead to atrophy of the filiform papillae, resulting in the characteristic erythematous appearance of geographic tongue. In addition, immunological and inflammatory factors associated with psoriasis are also suspected to contribute to lesion development. Geographic tongue is a benign inflammatory condition with a multifactorial etiology, including nutritional deficiencies and immunological factors such as psoriasis. Evaluation of systemic conditions and nutritional status is important to support accurate diagnosis and proper patient management.

Small-scale beef cattle farming systems play an important role in rural livelihoods in developing countries. However, comprehensive analysis that integrates the socioeconomic characteristics of farmers with resource utilization patterns is still limited. This study aims to evaluate the socio-economic characteristics of farmers and resource utilization patterns in the beef cattle business in Dolokgede Village, Tambakrejo District, Bojonegoro Regency. Based on the results of the evaluation, it can determine and identify the potential for the development of livestock businesses and in this region. Quantitative descriptive research was carried out using a direct survey method on farmers through questionnaires and environmental analysis. The sample was determined by the Slovin formula with an error rate of 10%, resulting in 29 respondents who were selected by simple random sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Farmers are dominated by the productive age of 31-60 years (72.41%) with the majority of elementary education (75.86%). The selection of 2-5 cattle dominates (65.52%) with the Peranakan Ongole type. The use of feed is integrated with the agricultural system through rice straw (96.55%) and corn waste (93.10%). Feed costs account for more than 60% of the total cost of production, but the R/C ratio shows a value above 1, indicating the economic viability of the business. The beef cattle business in Dolokgede Village has the potential for development through stronger plant-livestock integration, improved feed technology, and institutional support for market access and financing.

This research aims to explore how Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) is applied to enhance the sales performance of local rice products in the midst of competition with well-established national brands. Intensified competition arises due to the increasing presence of rice products from other regions as well as premium national brands that offer added value. These market dynamics underscore the importance of strategic marketing communication, especially in designing messages, selecting appropriate media channels, and applying the right consumer engagement approach to strengthen brand awareness and loyalty.A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing a case study approach on a local rice producer in Tabanan Regency. Data collection involved in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation related to promotional and sales activities, which were then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing stages.The results demonstrate that the coordinated use of IMC elements such as advertising, sales promotion, public relations, digital marketing, and word-of-mouth has contributed significantly to improving brand perception and market competitiveness. Ultimately, this study suggests that adopting a consistent and well-structured IMC strategy is essential for local rice producers to sustain their presence and achieve growth amidst the dominance of national rice brands.

Cilacap Regency in Central Java Province is recognized as an important contributor to national food production due to its extensive agricultural land and reliance on technical irrigation systems. The performance of irrigation networks, particularly secondary channels in the Serayu Irrigation Area (DI), is essential in regulating water levels to support agricultural activities in Sampang and Karangasem Villages. Variations in rainfall and field conditions often create water level differences that disrupt irrigation distribution, reducing water flow efficiency to rice fields and lowering productivity, especially during the dry season. This study aims to design secondary irrigation channels capable of maintaining stable water levels based on irrigation requirements. The research applies a descriptive quantitative method using rainfall data from BMKG, along with land area and elevation data interpreted from Google Earth imagery in 2025. The data were analyzed using probability and Thiessen polygon methods to estimate design rainfall, determine water availability, calculate irrigation demand, and plan channel dimensions. The analysis shows that Secondary Channel BGS 4.B serves an irrigation area of 103.57 hectares with a planned discharge capacity of 0.0343 m³/s. The channel design includes a base width of 0.65 meters and a water depth of 0.65 meters, with water surface elevations of 14.27 meters upstream and 13.15 meters downstream. Evaluation using a 10-year rainfall return period of 151.677 mm shows the channel can convey discharge effectively while maintaining water levels below the embankment, ensuring reliable irrigation distribution.

Musculoskeletal injuries are common health problems encountered in sports activities and daily life. Primary Health Care Facilities (PHCF) such as community health centers play an important role in the initial management of musculoskeletal injuries before referral to higher-level health facilities. This study aimed to describe the management of musculoskeletal injuries at the PHCF of UPTD Mangulewa Health Center. The methods used were field observation, structured interviews with health professionals, and simulation of musculoskeletal injury management. The results showed that UPTD Mangulewa Health Center has adequate facilities, equipment, and health personnel for managing musculoskeletal injuries at the primary care level. The management procedures were carried out systematically through anamnesis, physical examination, initial treatment based on RICE principles and immobilization, pharmacological therapy, and an integrated referral system. Fracture management simulations indicated that students gained practical understanding of immobilization techniques and early injury management. In conclusion, the management of musculoskeletal injuries at the PHCF of Mangulewa Health Center is in accordance with primary health care service standards and supports the prevention of injury complications.
